Hi folks,

I may need a set for next gen dirtbike, are these hard to come by?

Only had 10mm version before, but I want to run the wheels I have - this maybe a total plank type of question so laugh away!

thanks for any help,

Sid.

flat the threads of the 14mm axels to make them fit 10mm drops fella

they are hollow axles mate, so I dont think it will work without causing them to break. $:-\$

Not as common as you may think I believe, unless you go for newer ones, or drill out some 10mm??

Any s&m dealer wil get you some forks, but I'm sure I have seen some ditch forks with 14mm on eBay recently

Unless you want pitch forks though that is.

I will have a dig around for you.

There are some pitch forks on eBay, seller has sold quite a lot of s&m mid school stuff, apparently it was her deceased brothers and it looks like he had quite a collection of nice things. She's in Kent, so don't know if that helps either.

I can't post a direct link at the mo. bloody iPad things...
